Community Dinner: Peruvian Creole (Second Seating)

Tonight’s community dinner features a hearty winter dish from Peru: carapulcra, a creole potato and pork stew that is popular in Lima’s Afro-Peruvian community. The stew is prepared by our resident Peruvian chef Nico Vera, who will be talking about his upcoming Peruvian dinners and classes at 18 Reasons, with assistance from our Chef Mike Weller.

Born in Peru and based in San Francisco, California, Nico Vera is the founder, chef, mixologist, writer, and photographer for Pisco Trail. As the resident Peruvian chef at 18 Reasons since 2011, his pop-up dinners and classes are a gastronomical tour of Peru’s criollo cuisine and its unique culinary history. Visit Pisco Trail’s calendar for a preview of upcoming events, or explore cocktails and recipes that are a 500 year fusion of Inca, Spanish, African, Chinese, and Japanese ingredients and cultures. In addition to the blog, you can follow Pisco Trail’s adventures on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
